Testimonials

“Thank you! Once again our experience was great! Travis was awesome (as expected) and I was very impressed with the other facilitators as well. They did an awesome job working with the guys, especially the little ones. The parents were very excited about the experience the boys had. I am sure you will be seeing me again soon.”

“Larry at Upward Enterprises did a fantastic job in getting our group of reluctant and unmotivated teens to work together and ultimately have fun. Many of our group members had quite a bit of anxiety leading up to the activities but your facilitator was able to motivate and encourage them in a way that helped them in being successful in meeting their personal goals.”
-Christopher Pearce Jr., Adventure Diversion Program Coordinator, Carroll County Youth Service Bureau Westminster MD (2015)

“Our group of 15 scouts and 2 adults booked a six hour session without any previous knowledge of Upward Enterprises and could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Travis was very experienced and kept the scouts engaged and taught them some really insightful life lessons they will remember a long time.”
-Joe Breen, Scoutmaster Troop 3, Rockville Maryland (2015)

“We really enjoyed the team building. Travis and David created an environment where the staff could have lots of fun and yet challenged them to take risks as well. It was great!”
-Terry Milligan, Loudoun County Youth Shelter (2014)

“We had a great time. Your facilitator was really great with my students, especially the ones who were unsure of doing a few of the zipline activities. The one thing I would change is to spend more time there. I’m sure there were plenty of activities for us to do that we didn’t get to experience.”
-Jen Milam, Assistant Director of Student Activities, Stevenson University (2014)

“We had a great time on the course this past Sunday. Your facilitator crew was excellent. They did a great job fostering camaraderie among the boys in the group. My only regret is that I didn’t have an opportunity to ride the Giant Swing! Maybe next time.
-Wayne Apple, First Baptist Church of Glenarden (2014)

“Thank you so much. Larry, Dave, Travis, and all the other folks were just superb – very professional, great with the girls, able to connect with them and really push(ed) them to do things they didn’t think they could do. Everyone had a positive attitude and really made an effort to get to know our students. We look forward to seeing you next year! Thank you again, Clive.”
-Emily Fetting, Interim Dean of Students, National Cathedral School (2013)
